My latest podcast episode is a chat with guitarist, singer and teacher Michael Daves. ​​

Michael is an A-list guitarist who has performed with every current bluegrass star. He's probably best known for his 2011 Grammy nominated duo with Chris Thile, "Sleep With One Eye Open". 

We chatted about bluegrass guitar past and present, bluegrass melody singing, his favorite bluegrass duo partners like Chris Thile, Tony Trischka and Britany Haas, jazz sax player and teacher Yusef Lateef, and much more. Not enough time to cover all his interests and knowledge!
